  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    Chick-fil-a fallout

    How is it "passing judgment" on any particular individual to take a stand against sin in general? How convenient it is to avoid controversy and possible persecution with the excuse that one is "not passing judgment"! We're supposed to be the salt of the world, not its sugar.

    Democrats Likely to Make Same-Sex Marriage Part of Their Platform

    http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/31/us/politics/democrats-draft-gay-marriage-platform.html?_r=1 The Democrat Party is already the party of abortion and of forcing taxpayers to pay for it. This is just one more step down the path of evil. I won't vote for any Democrat. Better not to vote at all...

    Democrats Likely to Make Same-Sex Marriage Part of Their Platform

    http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/31/us/politics/democrats-draft-gay-marriage-platform.html Given that party's stand on abortion, this is just one more step toward the abyss. Kind of hard to temporize now with phony claims that the Democrat party is the "party of peace".

    Everyone is culpable for his or her own sin, but a President can do greater harm in advancing the cause of evil and obstructing the good because he possesses greater power than the average person. Take the repeal of the Mexico City Policy, which I mentioned in an earlier post, for example...

    Here's the difference. The Republican platform is mostly good. When Republicans fail to live up to it, they are failing to live by a decent standard they set for themselves. Republicans can be reminded of what they actually stand for and should strive to accomplish. The Democrats, on the other...

    That is a false statement, but it sounds sooo holy. We are all sinners, but we are certainly NOT all antichrist. You are making a grave error. I was not criticising Obama as a mere person who is a sinner. We are all sinners. I was criticising him as an American president, whose beliefs...

    Note to you: The War Powers Act prohibits an American president from committing troops to any conflict for more than 60 days without the express authorization of Congress. By far and away, most of the Democrats in Congress at the time voted to authorize both the war in Afghanistan and the war in...

    "So-called" evil? Wise up. Obama is evil. It is right to pray for Obama, just as it is right to pray for Osama bin Laden. But that doesn't mean we have to support the rotten policies or views of either man or that our praying for them means that somehow they must be good.

    I think you are wrong. Obama is evil, his views are evil, his policies are evil. We pray for him, but I think in his case we are praying that he repents and turns to the Lord. I am sure the early Christians prayed for the Roman Emperor, but I seriously doubt they had any illusions about the...

    Well, I want to stop talking about Obama, too. He is not my preferred subject. But I feel pretty strongly about him and his positions.

    This is not the usual politics thing. Obama goes way beyond that. He is evil and a promoter of vile wickedness, including the murder of countless unborn babies. Someone needs to say it. Watching your lips includes knowing when to say what needs to be said. Silence in the face of such gross...

    I don't expect them to be perfect, but I won't support one who is actually evil and a promoter of evil.

    So, you are waiting for the Orthodox Church to make some sort of official pronouncement before your own knowledge of Christ tells you that it is wrong to support a politician who holds the very evil views Obama holds? On the one hand it sounds like you need such pronouncements, yet you say...

    Thanks for that news flash. What do the facts about Obama say? Evil or not? He is a supporter of abortion on demand, including late-term abortion, and received the endorsement of NARAL and its highest rating. Obama is a supporter of the gay agenda and even endorsed the reading of the book...

    Suit yourself. It is beyond me how any Christian could know anything about Obama and the platform of the Democratic Party and support either. A vote for him is a vote for evil, and that is the truth. The only excuse I can see for supporting Obama is ignorance. Orthodoxy doesn't tell you...
